Is A College Degree Really Worth What You Pay?
More Americans think it’s a good idea for everyone to get additional schooling after high school, even though they’re less convinced than they were several years ago that a college degree is worth what you pay for it.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% of American Adults still believe a college degree is a good financial investment in today’s economic environment. That’s comparable to findings for the last couple years but down from a high of 69% in 2009. Twenty-four percent (24%) don’t believe a degree is worth the cost, and nearly as many (20%) are undecided.

The point of any education is to acquire knowledge and the skills to use that knowledge effectively. When one is paying for indoctrination, then it isn’t worth it any price. Further, higher ed is pricing itself out of the market. The internet will allow people who wish to gain knowledge without being jerked around by what college admin officers deem “qualified” to attend that college. Let all who are motivated to learn have access to what they want to learn and then allow them to compete in the marketplace for jobs without having unreasonable amount of debt just for wanting to learn.
